What is the October Zodiac Sign?

October zodiac sign

We all know that there are twelve signs of the zodiac and that each of them has its own unique set of traits and characteristics. What you might not know is exactly where each zodiac sign falls within the 12 months of the year. Do you know your Scorpio from your Sagittarius? Your Libra from your Leo? We’re here to help you, October babies, understand which zodiac sign you are and what that means in terms of traits.

What is the October zodiac sign?

There are, in fact, two zodiac signs that fall within the month of October.

If your birthday falls before and up to October 22nd, then you are a Libra.

If your birthday falls on and after October 23rd, then you are a Scorpio.

October Libra explained

If you’re born in September and your birthday falls before or up to the 23rd, then congratulations! You’re a diplomatic, loving Libra. Libras are born between September 23rd and October 22nd and are the seventh sign of the zodiac.

Many people would assume that if you fall between these dates, then all Libras are the same. However, that isn’t always the case. Libras who are born in September and Libras who are born in October often have differing natures.

September-born Libras are purely Venus-ruled, and as a result, they tend to embody the most classic Libra traits. This means they are often stereotypical Libras, such as being diplomatic, loving, charming, and seeking balance.

However, when we move past September and into October, these Libras are often co-ruled by either Uranus, the planet of innovation, or Mercury, the planet of intellect. As a result, October Libras are more likely to be led by their heads rather than their hearts. They place more emphasis on the logical and practical side of things.

Uranus’s co-ruling influence over October Libras means they often embody a more original, intellectual approach to life compared to September Libras. Uranus’s progressive and forward-thinking nature gives October Libras a more analytical nature. Mercury is all about how we communicate, analyze, and process our thoughts and how we strike a balance between facts and feelings. As a result, October Libras are excellent communicators who can diplomatically talk through concepts with almost anyone they meet.

In general, Libras have a reputation for being fair and being able to get in with almost anyone they meet. It’s not just the fact that they are an expressive and intellectual air sign, but because both Uranus and Mercury’s nature gives these October-born babies an analytical side that sets them apart from their September counterparts. Ultimately, both signs share many admirable qualities, but their differences should be taken into account when considering compatibility.

Sociable

October Libras are natural communicators due to their planetary ruler, Mercury. This planet is associated with intelligence, communication, travel, and technology, all of which can contribute to a person’s ability to connect and communicate with others. For example, October Libras may well have an open-minded attitude towards different cultures or be tech-savvy in order to better navigate the world around them. They love being around people, especially those who can understand their balance and harmony-seeking personality. This makes them incredibly popular in groups as they always strive to make sure that everyone is having a good time and no one is excluded. Additionally, their cardinal air sign energy helps them initiate new connections and keeps conversations going when they interact socially. So it’s no surprise that these folks typically enjoy spending time with their loved ones and making meaningful connections.

Diplomatic

Balance is incredibly important for October Libras, and they’re especially adept at finding it in the midst of different opinions. Their ability to remain diplomatic and think objectively while still being able to see the best in any situation makes them natural negotiators. These folks use their amazing powers of persuasion and tactful words to get people on board with their ideas or reach mutually beneficial outcomes whilst also maintaining harmonious relationships. They also tend to be very open-minded when it comes to considering all perspectives before making decisions, so you can trust that an October Libra will make sure everyone’s voice is heard and everyone is happy.

Charismatic

October Libras have an undeniable charm that makes them incredibly attractive to just about everyone. They’re naturally witty and social, which helps them connect with others on a deep level. Not only that, but their ability to remain composed and diplomatic even in the face of adversity draws people in. Mercury gives them a natural ability to communicate, whilst Uranus encourages originality. So it’s no wonder that they have a natural charm that draws people in. Their charisma is simply contagious, making them popular figures wherever they go. If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that people of this zodiac sign know how to work a room.

Kind

October Libras are some of the most compassionate and kindhearted people. They are guided by a strong moral compass and feel deeply connected to others, which makes them incredibly empathetic toward those in need. October Libras are also naturally generous with their time and resources, often going out of their way to help someone in need or make life easier for those around them. It’s their ability to understand other people’s emotions that drives this kindness and makes them very easy to talk to and even easier to like. On top of all this, they’re very patient and understanding when it comes to difficult conversations or situations. Their willingness to listen and work towards compromise allows October Libras to remain kind while still standing up for what they believe in.

Adaptable

October-born Libras are incredibly adaptable, thanks to the planets that rule over them. This all comes down to Mercury’s influence, which gives October Libras an amazing ability to grasp concepts quickly. This planetary energy allows them to be flexible in all kinds of situations. One of their unique traits is that they’re open-minded enough to consider all perspectives before making a decision and strong enough to stick with it when needed. They have a knack for seeing all sides of an argument, so they can easily adjust their viewpoints to fit any conversation or debate. This also means that they often make excellent mediators, as they can truly understand everyone’s points of view. October Libras also have an uncanny knack for sensing other people’s moods and energy levels, which allows them to adjust their own behavior accordingly.

October Scorpio explained

If you’re born in October and your birthday falls on or after the 23rd, then congratulations! You’re a loyal, intense Scorpio. Scorpios are born between October 23rd and November 21st and are the eighth sign of the zodiac.

Many people would assume that if you fall between these dates, then all Scorpios are the same. However, that isn’t always the case. Scorpios who are born in October and Scorpios who are born in November often have differing natures.

October-born Scorpios are ruled solely by Pluto, the planet of transformation and the subconscious, and as a result, they tend to embody the most classic Scorpio traits. This means they are often seen as stereotypical Scorpios, such as being mysterious, emotional, and intense. They’re also very focused on being truthful and honest.

However, when we move past October and into November, these Scorpios are often co-ruled by Neptune, the planet of intuition, or the moon, the planet of emotions. As a result, November Scorpios are often more spiritual and emotional than their October equals. This comes as no surprise with the cosmic-natured and mystical influence of Neptune and the moon’s intensely emotional and sentimental influence. This results in November Scorpios being more prone to mood swings and having an even more mysterious aura to their being (if that’s even possible!).

Loyal

October Scorpios have a deeply emotional and intuitive connection that allows them to stay fiercely loyal to their friends, family, and especially their romantic partners. As the only zodiac sign ruled solely by Pluto, the planet of the underworld, they’re naturally drawn to intense connections. They also have an unyielding commitment to the truth even when it’s uncomfortable, making them incredibly trustworthy people who will always stick by your side no matter what.

These scorpions are not afraid of change or transformation, which is why they can make such an incredible impact in any field they choose, and they’re committed until the bitter end.

Protective

October-born Scorpios are incredibly protective of the people they love and are always ready to fight on their behalf. This is due to their intense loyalty – once October Scorpios have established a connection with someone, they’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that person stays safe and secure. They tend to have strong levels of empathy and intuition, which helps them decipher situations accurately and quickly, enabling them to act with swiftness and conviction when needed. Scorpios are no strangers to sacrifice and will go out of their way to make sure those they love are taken care of and well provided for. These scorpions also have an intense sense of justice that drives them to take action when something isn’t right. They’re not afraid of confrontation, even if it means risking their own well-being in order to stand up for what’s fair and just. October Scorpios may come off as intimidating at first, but if you earn their trust, they’ll become your most loyal ally and defender.

Honest

October Scorpios are driven by a strong sense of justice and truth, which means they’ll always speak what’s on their minds. They don’t believe in sugarcoating or empty platitudes, and they want to get to the heart of the matter as quickly and accurately as possible. This sometimes makes them seem abrasive or blunt, but it also earns them immense respect from their peers for being honest. October Scorpios will never hide behind lies or false promises. They value integrity above all else and won’t settle for anything less than honesty in any situation. When you’re dealing with an October Scorpio, you can rest assured that you’ll be getting nothing but the truth – even if that truth isn’t what you want to hear.

Wise

October Scorpios ruled by Pluto often display wisdom and insight beyond their years. They are able to look at situations from different perspectives, understanding the complexities and nuances of each situation. They can be incredibly intuitive, discerning truth from falsehood with ease. This knowledge allows October Scorpios to make decisions that are not only well-informed but also wise. They understand that sometimes it’s better to allow some things to pass rather than try to control them, knowing when it’s best for something to end in order for something new and greater to begin. Their wisdom helps guide them through life’s toughest challenges, allowing them to come out stronger on the other side.

Passionate

October Scorpios are incredibly passionate people, driven by a need to make the world around them better. They are known for their passion and intensity, and they don’t want to engage in small talk.

They are also determined and focused on achieving their goals, regardless of the obstacles that stand in their way. They never give up, no matter how daunting the task may be, and will put every ounce of energy into completing it. This passion for life also translates into relationships, where October Scorpios will strive to do everything they can to nurture and strengthen their bonds with others.
